"At first, I thought that place was some kind of hideout for the Uzumaki Clan members in the past."
"However, after we reached a giant stone door protected by barrier Fuinjutsu, my suspicions began to grow," Reiji started his explanation in a serious tone.
"The Fuinjutsu was very complex, but I managed to open it."
"When the stone door opened and we stepped inside, the sight within left me stunned."
"Hanging from the ceiling of the large room were green cocoons."
"At first, I was just confused, but when I looked closer, I saw some of the cocoons slightly open."
"From within, I saw the figure of a white creature that... that we had encountered before," Reiji continued, his voice slightly trembling.
"A white creature...?" Keito repeated with a furrowed brow, before his expression changed as if he remembered something.
"Ah! You mean the white creature that infiltrated the Village before?"
"The creature we found when you first set up large-scale Fuinjutsu to protect Uzushio Village and the Whirlpool Island?"
"Yes, that creature," Reiji nodded. "When I saw it, I immediately knew that this place was dangerous."
"In the middle of the room, I also found a strange Fuinjutsu circle."
"The pattern was very intricate, vastly different from the usual techniques we use."
"I analyzed it for a moment, and what I saw only strengthened my bad feeling."
"I quickly ordered the Anbu to get out of there as fast as possible."
Reiji paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing.
"After we exited that room, I immediately reactivated the Fuinjutsu to seal the place."
"It wasn't enough just to do that; I also set up additional Fuinjutsu to close the entrance to the underwater cave, ensuring that no one could enter again."
Keito listened with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on Reiji with a sharp gaze.
"So, you're sure those creatures are connected to the previous attacks?"
"And the Fuinjutsu circle... could be part of something bigger?"
Reiji nodded slowly. "I can't say for sure, Uncle."
"But my intuition tells me that this place is not just an ordinary hideout."
"Moreover, the Fuinjutsu present there is quite similar to the Fuinjutsu used by the Uzumaki Clan, with many similar patterns."
"However, the Fuinjutsu there is very old, and even though it is very powerful and complex, because the patterns are similar to those of the Uzumaki Clan, I was able to analyze it."
"From what I observed, the Fuinjutsu on the giant stone door has been there for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years."
"I can't be certain how long that place has existed, but it is clear that it has been around for quite a while."
"Based on my analysis, the Fuinjutsu has several layers of prevention, so when someone tries to open it and fails, another Fuinjutsu will activate as a substitute."
"This Fuinjutsu is most likely what drove the members of the Clan who first discovered the cave insane," Reiji explained to Keito.
Reiji knew that in the anime, the Zetsu would emerge from the water during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
This phenomenon was not just a coincidence; even in the Boruto anime, it was clearly shown when Sasuke discovered several locations that served as hideouts for the Zetsu.
From these clues, it can be concluded that the Zetsu's dwellings are scattered throughout the ninja world.
Some are hidden underground, and some are even in the dark and mysterious depths of the sea.
However, what Reiji did not expect was the fact that one of the Zetsu's dwellings was located near the Whirlpool Island, known as the home of the Uzumaki Clan.
An island that was supposed to symbolize peace and tranquility now had an unexpected connection to a threat that might come from the Zetsu.
